Item 8.01. Other Events
On October 3, 2011, CHC Group Ltd. (“Company”) sent notice (“Notice”) to its shareholders announcing anticipated key dates, including the record date, for its offering of rights to acquire the Company’s new convertible preferred shares to its existing shareholders (“Rights Offering”). The text of the Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.
In connection with the Rights Offering, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 22, 2014 (“Registration Statement”). The Company will complete the Rights Offering in accordance with applicable law and the terms stated in the Registration Statement and the Rights Offering will be made only by means of a prospectus contained in the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement remains subject to review by the SEC, has not been declared effective, and is subject to change. Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K nor the Notice constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in the Rights Offering. If you are a shareholder as of the record date for the Rights Offering, you will receive a prospectus relating to the Rights Offering and related offering materials following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Those materials will describe in detail the procedures for participation in the Rights Offering.
